All the greatest worldly items remain greatest as long as the context of their categories is maintained

Ekameva Samdarbhamaatranaam .

(All the greatest worldly items remain greatest as long as the context of their categories is maintained. Otherwise, if the contexts do not exist, God becomes greatest and all the worldly items are no more greatest.)

Any worldly item, which is greatest in a particular category remains greatest as long as the context of the category is maintained. If this context disappears and God is also referred, the worldly item is no more greatest, because God is greater than any greatest item. When the context of the category is in reference, you cannot bring God into the picture to remove greatness of the worldly item. It becomes out of the context. Due to the significance of the context, you cannot say that no worldly item is greatest since God is greater than any greatest worldly item. In view of the scope of the context, you cannot resist the usage of the word Brahman to any worldly item and thus you cannot fix the word Brahman to God only and avoid the context of the category. Hence, an isolated word like Para Brahman is required.
